Where LinkedIn stores your saved jobs

LinkedIn keeps all the jobs you have saved in one place: your Saved Jobs folder, which you can reach from your profile menu or directly from the Jobs section. When you click the bookmark icon next to any job listing, LinkedIn adds it to this folder automatically. The folder stays the same whether you save a job on your phone, tablet, or computer — your saved list syncs across all your devices.

The fastest way to find your saved jobs is to go to the Jobs tab at the top of your LinkedIn home page, then look for the "Saved" option in the left sidebar. This takes you straight to your complete list without scrolling through job searches you have already done.

Key Takeaways

  • Your saved jobs live in the Jobs section under a "Saved" tab that appears once you have bookmarked at least one job.
  • On desktop, click Jobs at the top, then select Saved in the left sidebar to see all your bookmarked listings.
  • On the LinkedIn mobile app, tap the Jobs icon at the bottom, then tap the bookmark icon to view your saved list.
  • You can sort your saved jobs by date saved, job title, or company name to find what you are looking for faster.
  • Saved jobs stay in your folder for 90 days after the job posting closes, then LinkedIn removes them automatically.

Finding saved jobs on desktop

Start by clicking the Jobs tab in the top navigation bar of your LinkedIn home page. This opens the Jobs section, where you will see a left sidebar with several options. Look for the word Saved — it appears as a clickable link once you have saved at least one job. Click it, and LinkedIn displays every job you have bookmarked, with the most recently saved at the top.

If you do not see the Saved option yet, it means you have not bookmarked any jobs. Save one by clicking the bookmark icon (an outlined flag) next to any job listing, and the Saved folder will appear in your sidebar when ready. Once you have saved jobs, you can return to this folder anytime by following the same path: Jobs tab, then Saved in the left sidebar.

Finding saved jobs on the mobile app

On your phone or tablet, open the LinkedIn app and tap the Jobs icon at the bottom of your screen — it looks like a briefcase. This takes you to the Jobs section. At the top of the screen, you will see a bookmark icon (looks like a flag). Tap it to see all your saved jobs in one list.

If the bookmark icon does not appear, scroll down and save a job first by tapping the outline flag next to any listing. Once you have saved at least one job, the bookmark icon becomes active and takes you to your saved list. The mobile app shows your saved jobs in the same order as the desktop version, with the most recent saves first.

Sorting and organizing your saved jobs

LinkedIn lets you sort your saved jobs list to find what you need faster. On desktop, look for a sort menu (usually labeled "Sort by" or showing filter options) near the top of your saved jobs list. You can arrange jobs by the date you saved them, by job title alphabetically, or by company name. Choose whichever order makes it easiest for you to find the job you are thinking about.

On mobile, the sorting options appear at the top of your saved list as well. Tap the sort button and select your preferred order. This is especially useful if you have saved many jobs and want to group them by company or find the ones you saved most recently.

What happens to saved jobs over time

LinkedIn removes saved jobs from your folder automatically 90 days after the job posting closes. This means if a company stops accepting applications for a role you bookmarked, LinkedIn keeps it in your Saved folder for three months, then deletes it. You will not receive a warning before this happens — the job straightforward disappears from your list.

If you want to keep a job posting for your records after it closes, take a screenshot or copy the job details before the 90-day window ends. Alternatively, you can note the job title, company, and posting date in a document or spreadsheet so you have the information even after LinkedIn removes it.

Searching within your saved jobs

If you have saved many jobs, LinkedIn includes a search box at the top of your Saved folder. Type a company name, job title, or keyword to filter your list down to jobs matching what you typed. This is faster than scrolling through dozens of saved listings when you remember part of the job title or company name but not exactly where it is in your list.

The search works on both desktop and mobile. On desktop, the search box appears above your saved jobs list. On mobile, look for a search icon (magnifying glass) at the top of the screen and tap it to search your saved jobs.

Removing jobs from your saved list

To unsave a job, click or tap the bookmark icon next to it — the same icon you used to save it in the first place. The icon will change from filled (solid) to outlined, and the job disappears from your Saved folder. You can do this from your saved jobs list itself, or from any job posting you encounter while browsing.

Removing a job does not affect your profile or your applications. It straightforward takes the job out of your Saved folder so your list stays focused on the jobs you are actively interested in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I save a job if I am not logged into LinkedIn?

No. You must be signed into your LinkedIn account to save jobs. If you are browsing without logging in, the bookmark icon will not work. Log in first, then you can save any job you find.

Do saved jobs show up in my profile or activity feed?

No. Saving a job is private — only you can see your saved jobs list. LinkedIn does not notify your connections or post anything to your feed when you save a job.

What if I saved a job but cannot find it in my Saved folder?

Check that you are looking in the right place: Jobs tab, then Saved in the left sidebar on desktop, or Jobs icon then bookmark icon on mobile. If the job posting has closed, it may have been deleted from your list if more than 90 days have passed. Try searching for the company name or job title using the search box at the top of your saved list.

Can I organize saved jobs into folders or categories?

LinkedIn does not offer custom folders or tags for saved jobs. All your saved jobs go into one Saved folder. You can sort by date, title, or company, but you cannot create separate categories within the app.

If I delete my LinkedIn account, do my saved jobs go away?

Yes. Deleting your LinkedIn account removes everything associated with it, including your saved jobs list. If you want to keep a record of jobs you have saved, copy the details to a document before you delete your account.
